Why is scaling and polishing important?

• Prevents Gum Disease: Tartar buildup irritates the gums, leading to inflammation (gingivitis) or more severe bone loss (periodontitis). Scaling removes the root cause of this irritation.
• Stops Bad Breath: Built-up bacteria and trapped food particles are a primary cause of chronic bad breath (halitosis).
• Brightens Your Smile: While it isn’t a formal bleaching treatment, polishing removes stubborn surface stains, making your teeth look noticeably cleaner and brighter.
• Prevents Cavities: Removing plaque protects your enamel from the acids produced by oral bacteria.

For most people with good oral health, getting a scaling and polishing every 6 to 12 months is highly recommended alongside regular dental checkups.
